[7.03] Cassini ISS observations of Saturn's F ring region

Images of Saturn's F ring region were obtained by the ISS
cameras on approach to Saturn and immediately following
Saturn orbit insertion. Several imaging sequences taken at
the ansae have been used to provide complete azimuthal
coverage of the F ring. The ring itself exhibits many of the
same phenomena detected by Voyager, including multiple
strands, clumps and kinks. The highest resolution images
show structured sheets of material immediately interior to
the F ring. Our current understanding of the F ring region
and its perturbing objects will be reviewed in the light of
these latest observations from Cassini.
